Mariah Carey and her backup dancer continue to fuel dating rumours

The 46-year-old star, who recently split from her former fiancé James Packer, and the 33-year-old hunk have fuelled speculation they are getting closer after they were seen walking into Airbnb's Open Spotlight event in Los Angeles on Saturday with their hands together.

A witness told the New York Post's Page Six column: "It looked like they're legit dating."

Mariah is also said to have been spotted "feeding" Bryan when they spent time together alongside the superstar singer's manager Stella Bulochnikov and kids at LA spot Catch.

A source told the publication: "Bryan had his arm around Mariah all night. She fed him dessert."
